Curfew at 7:00 p.m. and pubs closed on Sundays: these measures threaten the hospitality industry, the Federal Council could decide on Friday. “That is unacceptable,” Gastrosuisse president Casimir Platzer (58) said in an interview with Blick TV. “The Federal Council is acting implausibly.” Because it cannot be that the Federal Council will throw them overboard again a few days after it has already decided on the measures, says Platzer.
The top bishop of Switzerland throws himself into the gap for federalism, condemns the pressure on the cantons, which in turn have ordered measures. “The procedure of the Federal Council is incomprehensible to me.” Platzer warns of the “death in installments” of many restaurants in Switzerland.
Strong criticism of Berset
The problem: The lunch menu business has collapsed in many places, with many working from the home office. If restaurants and pubs have to close at 7pm, then “it’s like another closure,” Platzer says. That means: it is no longer possible to do business.
Therefore, he hopes that the cantons will now defend themselves and intervene in the Federal Council. The objective is clear: the Federal Council must correct the announced measures. The federalist style has proven its worth, it’s just not a problem in their eyes, Platzer says. Leaves Federal Councilor Alain Berset (48) unhappy: “The Health Minister is very unhappy in the second wave, he reacts instead of acting,” Platzer complains.
There is also confusion as to whether upcoming holidays are also considered Sundays in the new measures. Also, you can hear that the bar was not necessarily included in the idea of closing all Sunday. Apparently it was mainly about the closing of the stores.
